- A bird in the hand is worth two in the bush.
Too many cooks spoil the broth.
A green Christmas makes a full graveyard.
Cuckoo corn and woodcock hay, make the farmer run away.
Make hay while the sun shines.
A swarm of bees in May is worth a load of hay.
Ash green makes a fire for the queen.
Two heads are better than one.
Honesty is the best policy.
Fine feathers do not make fine birds.
You can't put an old head on young shoulders.
Handsome is as handsome does.
Do good and you'll be happy.
A watched pot is long a boiling.
Saturday's moon either drowns or burns.
Cast not a clout 'till May is out.
On the first of May throw all the candle away.
Manners makes the man.- Collector
